Book Review: Riley Mae and the Rock Shocker Trek

If you’re gonna run for your life, you gotta wear the right shoes.

Riley Mae Hart loves sports and action - so when the Swiftriver Shoe Company
offers her a contract to be the spokesperson for their new outdoor sport
collection, she jumps at the chance. Soon she’s appearing in commercials and
magazine ads, and every girl in town wants to wear Riley Mae shoes. Well, except
for Riley. Because walking in those shoes means missing out on softball season,
making her best friend TJ mad, and embarrassing her new friend, Rusty. It also
means sneaking around, hiding, and keeping secrets - because suddenly something
isn’t quite right at Swiftriver. But a contract’s a contract, so Riley laces up
her “Rock Shocker” hiking boots for a climb up Half-Dome in Yosemite. Will they
be the right shoes to get her back on solid ground?

My Review:

I requested the second in this series first and although it was a great book I had regretted not reading the first one first. This series is wonderful and I definitely recommend it to young girls seven and up. It has great morals and shows girls being hardworking, dedicated and sporty. My daughter, who is ten, really enjoyed this book and actually read it without complaining. The characters are fun and the story line is also.
